Melanie Chisholm spoke with Reuters about her initial reluctance to be part of the Spice Girls reunion. “For years I always thought I would never go back,” the 33-year-old said. “It’s a very personal thing to me. I had a lot of things to deal with after the Spice Girls, I had a lot of personal issues, and I have been very happy being a solo artist. I had to really think about my decision, but after spending time with the girls and now getting into the show I am so glad this is the decision I had made.”
